The timing of metamorphosis and settlement is critical for the survival and reproductive success of marine animals with biphasic life cycles. Thyroid hormones (THs) regulate developmental timing in diverse groups of chordates, including the regulation of metamorphosis in amphibians, teleosts, lancelets, tunicates, and lampreys. Recent evidence suggests a role for TH regulation of metamorphosis outside of the chordates, including echinoderms, annelids, and molluscs.

Introduction Malocclusion, a prevalent oral health concern, significantly impacts both functional abilities and psychosocial well-being. The Dental Aesthetic Index (DAI) is widely used to assess malocclusion severity and orthodontic treatment needs. This study aims to evaluate the prevalence of orthodontic treatment needs based on the DAI in a Mexican population, considering factors such as gender, oral hygiene, and age range.

Background: Family physicians play a crucial role in healthcare delivery systems worldwide. In Iran, the family physician program has been introduced in only two provinces, with its expansion to other regions currently stalled due to various challenges. This study aims to identify the barriers and challenges hindering the effective implementation of the family physician program in urban areas of Iran.

Single molecule tracking and super-resolution microscopy of integrin adhesion proteins and actin in developing Drosophila muscle attachment sites reveals that nanotopography triggered by Arp2/3-dependent actin protrusions promotes stable adhesion formation. The nanodomains formed during this process confine the diffusion of integrins and promote their immobilization. Spatial confinement is also applied to the motion of actin filaments, resulting in enhanced mechanical connection with the integrin adhesion complex.
